Karene Reid’s interception returned for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage set the tone for No. 11-ranked Utah, as the Utes’ defense overwhelmed No. 22 UCLA en route to a 14–7 Pac-12 Conference win on Saturday, September 23, in Salt Lake City.

Utah (4–0, 1–0 Pac-12) held UCLA to just 243 total yards, an average of 3.6 per play, and went until late in the fourth quarter without surrendering a point.
